description Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image target detection is of great significance in civil surveillance and military reconnaissance. However, there are few publicly released SAR image datasets of typical non-cooperative targets. Aiming to solve this problem, a fast facet-based SAR imaging model is proposed to simulate the SAR images of non-cooperative aircraft targets under different conditions. Combining the iterative physical optics and the Kirchhoff approximation, the scattering coefficient of each facet on the target and rough surface can be obtained. Then, the radar echo signal of an aircraft target above a rough surface environment can be generated, and the SAR images can be simulated under different conditions. Finally, through the simulation experiments, a dataset of typical non-cooperative targets can be established. Combining the YOLOv5 network with the convolutional block attention module (CBAM) and another detection head, a SAR image target detection model based on the established dataset is realized. Compared with other YOLO series detectors, the simulation results show a significant improvement in precision. Moreover, the automatic target recognition system presented in this paper can provide a reference for the detection and recognition of non-cooperative aircraft targets and has great practical application in situational awareness of battlefield conditions.
